- BBbaurich13 days ago2.0We were not given any menus, so 15 minutes after seated we went and got our own. Chips and water took 25 minutes. After we finally got fajitas we did not get any tortillas for another 10 minutes. All the staff seemed in no rush at all. The family at the table next to us got up and walked out with drinks on their table, after similar slow service. I asked to speak to a manager, but nobody bothered to come talk to us. Absolutely ridiculous! The manager should be fired!!!
- MGMauricio Gonzalez5 days ago2.0Worts service ever, we were 4 in the table, entrees were brought one by one and we had to wait 30 mi utes to get the food in the table They just lwpt apoñogizing but did not solve the problem
- KHKelly Hanks5 days ago4.0Had the Burria. Was very good. Service was a bit lacking but there was a convention in town so it was busy. Overall I would definitely go back for the food.
- WMWalter MartinezFeb 20, 20265.0Great place to pre-game prior a Rockets game. Gets pretty packed so be ready for that. Great attention even in if the house is full. Dinner was great, free chips and salsa, definitely get the fajita plate (beef over chicken or both). Would recommend.
- AMAlex MegawFeb 17, 20265.0Went here based off locals recommendations. Food was amazing and to expectations others have told us. Our server was very helpful in guiding us for what to try out. I can't remember her name but she was great to talk to about the food and Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts. Very down to earth server. The environment was great, bathrooms clean. Glad we went to this establishment for local Tex-Mex.
